Last week IBM published the DAOS Estimator tool. With this tool you can estimate how much diskspace you could save by upgrading your server to Domino 8.5 and enabling DAOS.

You can run the tool on any version Domino server so there is no need to first upgrade to 8.5. The tool can be run against 1 single database, or a directory or on all databases on your server. The tool will scan all attachments in the databases and generate an overview of the attachment size, which compression is being used and the reference count (how often was the attachment found).


    Attachment Name         Size    Compr Size Compr Type  Refcount
 ========================= ========== ========== ========== ==========
  End-User Support- and Mai    207783     207783    None             1
  Foutmelding3.JPG              17473      18304  Huffman            1
  install.bat                     221        150    LZ1              1
  im_c.png                       6970       6970    None             2


At the end of the scan you will see a summary of all databases with the number of databases, the number of attachments, the number of duplicate attachments and the estimated disk savings. Below is the output from the tool as I ran it against our own production server.

Summary:
     Total DB's analyzed:                            1103
     Total DB's skipped due to errors:                  0
     Total Size of NSF's Examined:                  148.8 GB                  
     Total Attachments found:                      364138                     
     Total Duplicate Attachments found:            131022                     
     Total DAOS Eligible Attachments:              364138                     
     Estimated Size of DAOSified NSF's:              45.7 GB                  
     Estimate Size of DAOS dir:                      86.0 GB                  
     Total Disk Savings:                             26.0 GB                  
     Compression Statistics:                                                  
       None:                                       226937                     
       Huffman:                                    114554                     
       LZ1:                                         22647                     
       Huffman on LZ1 servers:                          0


If you also want to run the tool to see what Domino 8.5/DAOS can mean for your environment, you can download it here.
